Chapter 68: The Tree Is Not Big Enough
One hundred and ten black-clothed men separated from each other and released the officials who rushed over there. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info is headed by the head catcher Gou Zhanli, who is known as Gou Peeling, and he is arrogant. But he is not an idiot, and when he saw An Zheng's scene here, his heart was a little numb. But this is Fanggu City, everything on the ground is under the jurisdiction of Fanggu Mansion, he is the head catcher, but there is nothing to be afraid of.
Even if it is an ordinary sect, you have to give face to the yamen and look at the face of the yamen. With a sect like this coming from other places, Gou Zhanli certainly wouldn't have any great worries.
Gou Zhanli is in his thirties, and he can't be said to be incapable of catching heads.
He looked An Zheng up and down, and then sneered: "Don't say anything else, the people see the officials, don't be polite, this is already wrong." I'm standing, you're sitting, but it's majestic. ”
An Zheng also looked Gou Zhanli up and down, and then replied, "Then you should salute me." ”
Gou Zhanli snorted coldly: "Have you eaten?"
An Zheng smiled, then pointed to an iron plaque hanging from his belt.
"Tooth General?"
Gou Zhanli was obviously stunned for a moment after seeing the iron card clearly, he didn't expect that the other party would be from the military. But judging by the style of the iron plate, it is the border army.
An Zheng said lightly: "The prefect of Fanggu Mansion is the fifth grade, and the head catcher in the government is the seventh grade. I am the tooth general of the Dayan border army, and I am the sixth product. If your prefect comes, I should salute. But you should give me a salute, right? ”
Gou Zhanli felt that there was something strange about this matter today, the other party was obviously very young, and it was impossible for him to have the identity of the Tooth General of the Sixth Grade, unless it was a person from a big family, who was born with a knighthood. However, knighthood and official title are two different things.
"Your identity is fake. ”
Gou Zhanli snorted coldly: "Over the years, I have seen a lot of swagger and deception. Seeing that you are no more than eighteen years old, you may not even have the qualifications to join the army, how can you have the status of a sixth-rank general. ”
An Zheng smiled: "You're right, I'm really not old enough to be in the army. I donated 600,000 taels of silver to the border army, so that the border soldiers eat better and wear better, so in recognition of my contribution, the identity of this tooth general is a special reward from the Ministry of War. But don't worry, my tooth will have no real power. ”
Gou Zhanli's first reaction was that this matter must not be made any bigger today. This person seems to be from a lot of background, and there is no need for him to cause trouble. The second reaction is that it is okay to ask for some compensation with such a person, and it is not good in case it affects his career.
"Whatever you are, you've injured my people. ”
Gou Zhanli looked at An Zheng and said, "According to Dayan's law, either you will go to the official mansion." Or, you compensate privately. I remember that you have come from other places, and it is not easy for you to come to this place of life without familiarity. So I'll give you a chance, you lose money. ”
An Zheng asked, "How much to accompany?"
Gou Zhanli stretched out a finger: "Ten thousand taels." ”
An Zheng nodded: "Justice." ”
He took out a stack of silver tickets from his cuffs, took out 10,000 taels and handed it to Gou Zhanli: "This is the money paid to you." ”
An Zheng sits, and Gou Zhanli had to bend down to pick it up.
An Zheng waited for Gou Zhanli to look left and right to make sure that the silver ticket was not fake, and then said, "Are you satisfied?"
Gou Zhanli snorted coldly: "Thinking of your first offense, I can ignore this matter." ”
An Zheng smiled: "It's good if you're satisfied, now let's talk about what I'm not satisfied with." As the head catcher of the government, you extorted 10,000 taels of silver from me without evidence. According to Dayan's law, extortion of more than 1,000 taels of silver is a big case. 10,000 taels, this amount is enough for you to spend the rest of your life in prison. I've satisfied you, but you haven't satisfied me. ”
An Zheng beckoned: "Send someone to the military department, take this, and say that the people in the military department and the martial arts department are blackmailed by the government." ”
His men immediately grabbed the thing and turned away.
Gou Zhanli was stunned for a moment: "You...... What do you mean. ”
An argued: "Be reasonable. ”
Gou Zhanli is still relatively experienced, and at this moment he began to regret it, feeling that he should not come forward in this matter. But he was already used to being unscrupulous in Fanggu City, and he hadn't thought about it so much before. From the beginning, he felt that the other party was a foreigner and would not be too difficult to deal with. Now this person is not only the tooth general of the border army, but also seems to have the identity of the martial arts academy...... The last thing Gou Zhanli wants to provoke is the people from the military department.
Although Fanggu Mansion is the local yamen of Kyoto City, a casual yamen will not take them too seriously. There are so many yamen in various ministries and departments in the capital that the local government can't nod when they see the uncle from the government department and the yamen. Moreover, the most unreasonable and protective people in the world are the people of the military department, and once those military people are arrogant, it is not easy for anyone to be the peacemaker.
"That's it. ”
Gou Zhanli smiled: "What about this money, you should pay to the person who was beaten." But as the head catcher here, I also have to welcome you guests from other places on behalf of Fang Gucheng. This money is counted as the one I invited you to eat. He was about to hand the silver ticket back, but An Zheng didn't even raise his hand.
An Zheng smiled and said, "This matter is actually simple. I moved from the border city, and the big square in your house was so easy to deceive and bully us, and cheated us for 30,000 taels of silver. ”
Gou Zhanli interrupted An Zheng and said: "It's just 30,000 taels of silver, just let them return it to you, it's not a big deal." ”
He made a look, and Zhou Wanqian, who was lying on the ground, immediately sent someone back to get the money. This place is not far from the store of Dafang Agency, and someone will soon rush back with a silver ticket. Gou Zhanli handed the silver ticket to An Zheng: "If you don't fight, you don't know each other, in Fanggu City in the future, who won't need anyone?"
An Zheng took the silver ticket and looked at it: "I won't need you...... Besides, 30,000 taels of silver is not even a dime a dozen to me. I lack everything, but money. ”
He handed the silver ticket to Du Shousian: "Arrange people, all the people who see this here today, all go to the best restaurant to eat, and if you can't finish eating 30,000 taels, pack them, everyone packs them, until they run out." ”
Du Thin: "Okay, I like to sprinkle money." ”
As soon as he greeted him, the onlookers immediately cheered.
Gou Zhanli: "What do you mean?" ”
An Zheng shrugged his shoulders: "The meaning is very simple, this matter is a result." You apologize to me now, compensate me tenfold for my losses, and the Dafang Agency will close its doors and vacate your agency compound, I just need such a courtyard to live in. ”
Gou Zhanli's face turned pale: "Don't deceive people too much, if you really provoke me here, you won't end well." ”
An Zheng looked at Gou Zhanli's eyes and said, "You like to bully people, and I also like to bully people, but what I like to bully is the person who bullies people." Against people like you, if you don't kill with a stick, sooner or later it will still be a scourge. ”
Gou Zhanli's face was distorted: "Then talk to me when I go back to the mansion." ”
An Zheng pointed to his iron card: "Although my six-rank tooth will only be a consolation prize, my identity is still here." If you want to take me into the government, you have to ask the military department. Also, do you think that the prefect of Fanggu Mansion is supporting you? Let me tell you, the moment I sit down on this stool, the attitude of the person who supported you may be changing. ”
Gou Zhanli said angrily: "You are too arrogant, this is Fanggu City, you are an outsider, do you really think you can cover the sky with one hand?"
An Zheng said: "Of course I can't, but I can just clean up a small role of your level." ”
Gou Zhanli was suspicious, he wanted to be angry, but he didn't dare. An Zheng's aura is too sufficient, and he loses the upper hand everywhere. This situation, he has never faced.
At this moment, a few people in the distance walked over quickly, and the old man at the head looked like a fairy wind and bones. Gou Zhanli's face immediately changed after seeing the old man, and he hurriedly leaned over and saluted: "Old Zhang, why did I still alarm you about this little matter, it's okay, I can handle it......"
But the old man, who talked to him on weekdays, didn't even look at him, and walked quickly in front of An Zheng: "The old man is Zhang Yifu, the big shopkeeper of the Dayan headquarters of Jushang Academy, and he has long known that Sect Master An is coming, but he didn't expect to come so quickly, and he didn't greet him from afar, so don't be surprised." ”
An Zheng stood up and clenched his fists: "The old gentleman is polite, I was in a hurry on the road, so I arrived two days early." ”
Zhang Yifu said: "When I arrived in the capital, Sect Master An encountered such a dirty thing, and the old man really felt that his face was gloomy. Before coming, the old man had already bought a courtyard four miles away and gave it to Sect Master An as a temporary shelter. When you find a good place to go in the future, you can just move again. ”
"Thank you. ”
An Zheng did not shirk, and after taking the title deed from Zhang Yifu, he clenched his fists: "When I say hello to Mr. Big, I will come to visit later." ”
Zhang Yifu nodded hurriedly, exchanged a few more words and left.
Gou Zhanli's face became paler and paler, and he knew that he had really hit a hard nail this time. In other places, few people may know about it, but in the capital, who doesn't know that Jushangyuan was opened by the Dayan military. It is said that the heads of the Jushoin are most likely the big people who sit in the highest positions in the military department. In the prosperous times, the military is heavy in the troubled times, and the government departments and offices of the prefectures are the most powerful.
Gou Zhanli leaned forward and nodded: "I also gather a good friend of the old man Zhang of the Shangyuan, since we are all a family, why hurt the harmony? It's just a trivial matter, just talk about it, it's not a knot that can't be untied. ”
An Zheng smiled: "You overestimate yourself, I didn't treat you as a knot, so there is nothing to say that you can't untie." ”
Gou Zhanli stood there awkwardly, no matter what.
He thought about who he could invite, put the matter in order, and admit it for some money. But his shock was not over, Zhang Yifu, the chief shopkeeper of the headquarters of Jushangyuan, had not been walking for a long time, and a burst of neat footsteps came from the distance of the street, and the crowded crowd on the street immediately dispersed.
"Which one is the tooth general from the border city?"
In the distance, a man with a voice like a bell shouted loudly.
An Zheng turned around and clenched his fists: "The last general." ”
A man in a military general's uniform rode over and flipped off the horse: "It turned out to be you...... I've been waiting for you for a long time. My name is Wang Kaitai, and I was also transferred to the capital from the border city. I heard that you donated hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to the border army, so that the border army could eat and dress well, I thank you for the border army brothers!"
This man is a burly man, with a tall figure, and he walks with a tiger's style. He has a beard, a square face, and a pair of big eyes that are not angry and arrogant.
"I heard you've been bullied?"
Wang Kaitai glanced at Gou Zhanli: "Who bullied the people of our military? An Zheng is the sixth-rank general of the Dayan Border Army, and he is also a disciple of my martial arts academy, which master is so difficult to get along with my military department?"
Gou Zhanli knelt down with a plop: "General, humble duty...... Misunderstandings, it's all misunderstandings. ”
Wang Kaitai snorted coldly: "Come on, give me all the weapons of these eight lambs, and they will all be tied up and brought back to the military department." If Fang Gu Mansion wants someone, come to my military department and ask for it!"
The onlookers were all stunned, and said in their hearts, what is the origin of this Sect Master An? The six-rank general of the border army, the special disciple of the Martial Academy, the Jushang Academy sent a big shopkeeper to pick it up directly, and what kind of sect is it...... Gou Zhanli didn't kick the stone, he kicked the mountain.
Wang Kaitai was cheerful and heroic, and turned around to put his arm around An Zheng's shoulder: "The soldiers and the relatives of the soldiers, they don't understand the hardships of the border army, and they don't understand the feelings of the border army. Let's go, follow me back to the military headquarters. ”
An Zheng smiled and said, "Can I go back later, so many people haven't been settled yet, and there are still female dependents......"
Wang Kaitai laughed: "Okay, okay, you can come quickly." ”
In the carriage, Qu Liuxi's face was a little unsightly: "What is An Zheng doing? Didn't he say that he had to hide his identity first? Why was his identity exposed before he arrived at the place?"
Gu Qianye pondered for a while and said, "Maybe he thinks he can't hide it, so he just opens it up by himself?" ”
An Zheng glanced at Gou Zhanli, who was kneeling at a loss, squatted down and said in a low voice: "Do you know what the wicked are most afraid of?"
Gou Zhanli subconsciously shook his head.
An Zheng said seriously: "The wicked are most afraid of people who are worse than them, tell you a secret...... Wherever I go, the wicked are unlucky. You're the beginning, but you're over. ”
An Zheng stood up and put his arm around Du's thin shoulders: "In Fanggu City, the appearance of our Heavenly Apocalypse Sect is handsome?"
Du said thinly: "Handsome, but you're not afraid of the tree?"
An Zheng shook his head: "Don't be afraid, the tree should be bigger." ”
He smiled so slyly that no one understood what he was thinking.
